Helluva thread, I grew up on trumpets and didn't get my first Harley until late 20's. Never had rice but I will say if I took my time and counted back how many scoots and wrenching...whoa. I grew up in the oil patch/shipyard and now I'm working on 64. Hopefully this Deluxe be my last.

 

I always had metrics as a kid.
Then I got married, had kids, and had to pay for two houses and college.
Upon my forced early retirement I decided to start working on my bucket list.
I always knew I'd get back to riding one day, and I still even had my old FF Bell helmet from my metric days in my garage...
And I always wanted a Harley. Just turned 6-0 this spring.

- purchased a 2012 Sportster Superlow in May 2012. That bike lasted exactly 3 weeks, too small, back to the dealer.
- purchased a 2012 Dyna Switchback, also in May 2012 - That bike required an exorcism, and didn't survive the ordeal.
- purchased a 2013 Softail Slim in November 2012 - ..they're not getting this one back...ever.

 

I'm 76 years old and have had 31 NEW Harley's to date. HOWEVER, I am downsized to a 2007 1200R sportster due to the weight issue.
